LOOKING FOR ME? SO AM I

Photo by Clemens van Lay on Unsplash It has been 1 month and 4 days since I left home. I left the verdant views of Blantyre Blues and headed to the jagged and jazzy metropolis of Johannesburg in pursuit of a higher education and expansion. Towards the end of last year, I got accepted to  the University of Wits  and thus began my journey of transition and integration in mid-January and it's been a wild ride since. There are a plethora of emotions and experiences that I am going through, which I am finding hard to articulate because of awe. I am amazed at the beauty and dangers of this city. I am in awe of the academic, social and cultural impact of WITS on myself, other students, the country and the rest of the world. I am humbled and in awe of  the privilege and opportunity that I have being part of this elite institution as  an ambitious , idealistic artist from Malawi. I am pleasantly overwhelmed by the high standards of excellence, discipline, and growth expected from me
